Song of the Crimea Tatars:


Гидене бак гидение




Гидене бак гидение,
Аман, аман.		 Gidene bak gidene,
Aman aman.
 (Tentative translation:)
....... look ........
Бою бензер фидане. Boyu benzer fidane.
 Neck resembling a sapling.
Чох арардым буламадым, Çoh arardım bulamadım,
 I could not find many words for it: 
Сенин гиби дане,
Аман, аман.		 Senin gibi dane,
Aman aman.
 just like grain......

PS.  This is what http://imtranslator.net made of it, assuming that it is just Turkish:

“See also gone gone, my oh my. Similar size trees, I could not find much call them, just like grain, a burden.”
